I know this has been brough up by Ilyaelencala a couple days ago. heres the link http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/s...threadid=18976 "I've made a tga with wished content, in size 256x256 pixels. The I convert it into BLP using Image Extractor 2. <-- (quote from Ilyaelencala, I've done this also) "Then I add it into my war3patch with the name "UI\Widgets\Glues\Minimap-Unknown.blp" <----- this is what i need help on.. I dunno the exact path to put my pic in.. also Ilyaelencala used WinMPQ but for somereason my winzip(freeware) wont open WinMPQ. So do I have to use WinMPQ or can I use TechMPQ instead? O ya, Ive also used W3M map utilities to put abc.tga into my map but it just showed up white. *EDIT* I think I can fix this myself if I use WinMPQ, *REEDIT* ok nvm I fixed it.. solution few post below |

Just go find and use W3M Map Utilities. It automatically adds any minimap picture that you want. No mpq crap, none of that other stuff. Just go do that, then use the password protector on it to keep the minimap attached to it. Only thing is, you gotta reinsert the minimap every time you make add-ons to your map, because you have to unprotect it. So just to that, its easier man! :D |

okay, what do you want, the same thing the other guy wanted? Where it was the pic when you go to host a game in the chatroom on bnet? if so then I recommend you get winmpq (w3m utilities doesn't seem to like to import the images I want because they are at a wrong color quality.) In this case I'd be glad to send you a copy of winmpq but there are several files that come with it I believe. So go uninstal/reinstal winzip (this will probably help you) and use winmpq. Simply name the image "war3mapPreview.tga" and drag and drop it :) |

Ok I fixed it.......... man, my problem was that (i think) the .tga has to be exactly 256x256. my pic was 256x251 or something thats why it came out white.. redid the image to 256x256 and it works fine :) o ya Dark_link your right.. theres no need for WinMPQ, W3M map ultities works fine by itself, even though I went both ways.. thx |
